It almost works.

Problem is that the pending patch got converted to use <cr><lf> instead of
just <lf> as common in Linux. When I try to apply it with "git quiltimport",
it bails out with "trailing whitespace" errors. "git am" with the individual
patch works fine for some reason, though.

I can try to find a workaround, but it would be better to have the file in
linux file format to start with. Would that be possible ?

Alternatively, does anyone know how to apply files in DOS format (lines
terminated with cr/lf) using quiltimport ?

Thanks,
Guenter
